Title: Atlas to Accompany the Monograph of the Tertiary History of the Grand Cañon District
Place Published: Washington
Publisher:Julius Bien
Date Published: 1882
Description:

Title-page, contents list, & 22 double-page plates, including color lithographed maps, lithographs of the canyon by W.H. Holmes, a striking chromolithograph by Thomas Moran, etc. 20x17 ¼, original gilt-lettered cloth, rebacked.

A magnificent collection of maps and views that has elicited superlatives from every critic, and is certainly worthy of Francis Farquhar's description of it as "one of the greatest if not the greatest of all grand canyon books."

Dampstain to top of plates throughout; the Moran plate has some restoration on each half where the pages were at one time stuck to each other; good.
